lab assets

assets from the lab video a few weeks back!

feel free to use these in your projects or just study the geometry and textures

thank you for the support as always and have a good week yall :)

Intermediate character animation techniques

Once you get into character animation things can get a little confusing. In this video I show a proper way to make a looping walk cycle using an IK rig (tutorial for the rig is available on here as well) as well as different interpolation modes, and how to loop and bake animations.

walk cycles

3 different walk cycles I did for gen early on. the third one is silly

Gen Introduction Breakdown

New character named Gen from my most recent instagram post!

Its one of the first times ive been happy enough with a character to further build upon their story. I plan on doing a bunch with her and will share all the plans on here! 

This video took me way too long. When I hit record i really didnt think i was going to go this in depth haha.

I end up remodeling a good chunk of the bike, and redid the fog, talked about ai, and did whole stencil painting run thr...

BIG video being made

30 minute breakdown of gen video being edited rn, it will b posted before tomorrow :)

sorry for the lag this month! Extremely busy, just cleared up commissions so ima come back strong with tutorials and modeling videos this month :) asset packs for you tier 3s as well <3 thx for your patience

WIP lab

the lab so far! also modeled this alien baltan for new thrift3d post. excited about the render style using freestyle, these thin lines look so good with the flat colors and i think help mix the image texture style with it. stay tuned!

compositing part 2

this one of those videos where i start explaining stuff but get lost in new ideas and take u along for the ride lol.

some pretty cool results in this one for VFX tricks! 

compositing intro

something to get you started in compositing if youve never messed with it before!

gonna make more shorter (5-10 minute) videos like this in the future.

WIP + color randomizer tech

showing off a project from yesterday that im still working on, along with some useful tips like how to randomize colors on any duplicated objects (skip to 3:00 to see that)

also went thru how to animate text in the same way i did the noodle bar animation (skip to 10:10)

went thru some old projects too, im sure some of you would love to see my first ever blend files haha.

next tutorial videos coming up will cover more character modeling tech, like adding clo...

Out of town for a few days!

Got some cool stuff planned for when I get back , I wanna make a video on setting up asset browser, and id like to show off a bit more behind the scenes of some projects like the snowboarding one, and some older ones from last year.

hope y’all have a great week!

landscape drawer project file

go nuts!

landscape drawing!

heres how to draw straight onto a plane to form mountainous landscapes using weight painting! project file available for tier 3!

fluid sim tech

trippy 1 for yall happy sunday

ps2 project file

enjoy!

PS2 controller!

modeling walk thru for a playstation controller. I decided to leave this one mostly unedited so you could see my whole process and mistakes made along the way! Happy with the way it came out, looking back i could have made the hand grips a little bit longer. If you have tier 3 feel free to use this project file for your own projects!

modeling video tomorrow!

ps2 controller walk thru, posting first thing tomorrow!

glitch displacement project file

enjoy :)

Glitch displacement tech!!!

super cool experiment today, using old analog glitch videos to displace a plane, looks insane but is actually pretty simple!

spider timelapse

psssss

need to find this project file

this was peak discovery phase for me with blender haha. Im not even sure whats going on here anymore

1 more pretty analog cut

some of my favorite video feedback i ever got

im never going to do anything with these again except use them as textures or something, i dont want to really post them on my socials cause the algorithm wont like it lmfao. 

but i know some people think this stuff is neat so this feels like a great place to put them

not a render but

an old crt scan. The footage is the ps2 start screen animation turned sideways and ran thru an circuit bend videonics thing with some feedback

i used to do a lot of circuit bending stuff back in the day for video so if any of yall are into that and have any questions feel free to ask!

thrift3d unreleased

computer joystick from savers SJ found a while back

never really liked the final result too much for some reason, lmk what yall think

gonna go on a little dumping spree on here

starting w my brian greene jim gates and michio kaku tribute lmaoo

lotta renders that wont end up anywhere else comin in hot

noodlebar wire frame longcut

this is the whole animation before adding the text!

croc project file

1st and 2nd attempt at making them, both objects w/ textures included!

croc modeling + texutring walk thru

this a big one! grab a sandwich and follow me as I get these crocs done. This is an interesting object to model, i did it once before earlier this week to get a workflow down, then recorded it again doing this one. 

There were a couple of hiccups, which i wanted to leave in the video to show you guys different ways i handle situations like that while working in blender.

no matter how much of a workflow you have down, you will always run into some weird mishap whil...

first personal project in the new space

knocked out this little snowjam spot today, the wild flickering texture on everything is from the samples being low with denoising on in cycles, and you hit the little stopwatch button that makes every frame have different procedural noise.

ill probably work on this a little more tomorrow, but i also wanna finish editing the croc tutorial video lmao. Its gonna show off some stuff like modeling against reference images, making a texture atlas, and some fancy texture painting t...

weekly modeling tutorials incoming

okay now that I’m settled in and the holidays are done it’s time to get active again! I’m going to do weekly modeling walk thrus that show off important or cutty blender techniques, and YOU get to decide what I make! I’ll upload the OBJ/file project for tier 3 people so you can study/use it for whatever! Go ahead and follow my Twitter if you don’t already so you can vote :) happy new year!!!

Forgotten silhouettes of this guy

Always loved this design and color scheme, this is from last year. might have to pull it out the project files soon
